We love it when tumblr gets creative. Some of the best stories we have read came from tumblr somehow. Our favorite was the one about the woman and the cat with the key around its neck. Tumblr is known for being weird and for threads taking unexpected turns and confusing and amusing everyone. And this time is really no different. This time, tumblr decided to come up with a story about a teeny weeny dragon and its gold coin, and it is a whole cuter than you ever expect it to be. 

Unfortunately, there are no adorable tiny dragons in the real world for us to fawn over. The closest we have are monitor lizards who look like real life dragons and crocodile skinks who look like baby dragons. Don't worry though, illustrations of the tiny dragon in question have been made, and yes, they are just as adorable as you think they are.

    Font - writing-prompt-s Follow The world's tiniest dragon must defend his hoard, a single gold coin, from those who would steal it. mildswearingat4am Follow Suggestion: The dragon's definition of "steal" is somewhat loose. It still allows the coin to be used and bartered and change hands-but on one condition: the dragon must be with it at all times. They become a familiar sight in the marketplace.

    Honestly, we don't even know what we would do if we encountered this happening in the real world. We'd start by taking our phone out and snapping a bunch of pictures, obviously, that's a give, but after that… goodness, knowing ourselves, we'd probably try to adopt the dragon somehow.

    Font - "Here's your change, ma'am. One gold piece." The merchant holds out a palm, on top of which rests a tiny, brilliantly colored creature clutching a single gold coin. "That's a dragon," you say dumbly. “One piece... and a dragon." "Yes." You cautiously reach out and attempt to take your change. You tug. It holds. You tug harder. The dragon lets loose a tiny, protective growl. "Ma'am-no, ma'am, you have to take the dragon, too." "Sorry?"

    The hesitation from the woman is the least believable thing in this story, let's be real. Who in their right mind would refuse and tiny baby dragon. Maybe if it was a big dragon, then we would be slightly afraid, but a tiny dragon? Heck, yeah, we're taking it, and we'd be the best dragon mommas in the whole world.

    Font - The seller notes your dubious expression. "Not from around here, are ya?" They shrug. "Them's the rules. Take the coin, take the dragon." They wait expectantly. Wondering how the world has so suddenly gone mad, you slowly, slowly hold out your hand. The dragon perks right up. It scampers from their palm to yours with the coin clamped in its jaws and scales your sleeve with sharp little claws. "Have a nice day, ma'am," the merchant says. "Spend him soon, now, you hear? At another booth, if

    Font - bdubs8807 Follow Bonus: the coin eventually passes to the rogue in a group of travelling adventurers. The dragon becomes the mascot of the entire group, and they lay out a small pile of coins for him to sleep on every night, clutching his coin like a teddy bear. euphorichords Follow This is so pure I am in love buttercuparry Follow Where is the fanart?
